Brief Reflection Lyrics

Brief Reflection lyrics

*Verse 1*

(Donald)

This goes out to you working to make ends meet

And this goes out to you working in your office suite

This goes out for you who fear there is no hope

May my passion inspire, so please listen in close

This is for my people struggling with education

And this is for my people excelling past expectations

The story is simple as our life pages turn

From our journey of passion may your conscience mind learn

(Te Awanui)

Untarnished flames step alongside us

On our journey

Teaching beam through our rhymes

Humble remains oh the spirit that guides the

Concisenses in our lives



*Chorus*

(Te Awanui)

A brief reflection

Listen in right here

Of my dreams

Teleport to another time

Courage enhanced

Together we're stepping forth no one can hold us back

Through where I've been

We are C O C O nuts from da city



*Verse 2*

(Donald)

This goes out to you who said we wouldn't make it

This goes out to those who said we wouldn't make the cut

I've seen my share of people spreading gypsy myths

Crossed paths with people dodgier stiffer than 50 pricks

But still theres never been an obsticle unecessary

Looking back the reflections that ish was legendary

Donald, Fred and Chelease back in 96'

Chapter 1 of my Genesis

Yo Chapter 2

Now thats a different story it was me leki

Singing hooks self explanatory

Blossomed to merge and DIRECT HARMONY

It was about time we met the Fa'atasi Family

Went on to rock talent quest, numerous shows

Last minute rugged cuts haha sabre let 'em know

(Feleti)

Hysterical productions looking back that's history

Dispite the horrors of flat moments friendship remained the key

(Donald)

Now around 98' Arch Dynasty formed

Chapter 3, D.H and Fa'atasi joined force

Pasifika festivals, Grey Lynn community

Laying the foundation for this Nesian Mooli

Chapter 4 into the final thought

Reminiscing back on lessons experience, once taught

Continuly proceed by any means see fit

This has been a brief reflection of how I lived



*Chorus*



*Verse 3*

(Feleti)

Allow me to take you back to where it all began

Listening to street poets black performing with my dad

Yo introduced to MCing by my cousin Scribe

Way before him and P-Money's thoughts synchronised

Along with trax and N.A.T formed the Fa'atasi family

Representing afakasi's C.O.C.O.N.U.T'S

Unveiled hiphop in depthly and what it meant to me

Completed the evolution becoming an MC

The art form called, open doors by love of people

Doing gigs nobody else ever will concede to

Bust Acoustic stylistics with J.P like meditating

Develop my style and content for navigating

Through this shady industry which comes with no surprise

At this time D.L.T truly opened up my eyes

He said they'll try to change you, but don't let this phase you

They can't contain the truth, simply remain you

So with knowledge in my pocket

And a fist full of rhymes

Progression was constant

Lyrics slowly refined

While the ignorant critized, stepping on hollow ground

Uplifting belief of family encouraged my inner sound

The spirit guided me through turbulent monsoons

A.K.A the non believers with negative attitudes

May the music empower strengthening within your mental

Unexpected was the rise of these kats from city central



*Chorus*



*Verse 4*

(Junior)

7 years out of DALVE WOLVES to GREY LYNN/PONSONBY

Living the coconut life and dancing with the family

A.E.C.G be the group and AITUTAKI be my roots

I remember back in intermediate playing st pauls 

Basketball 25 on 5 yo whats the score

Forget about it no one gonna care about it

Same hood CENTRAL society yo we like to party

WESTERN SPRINGS was my lily pad to get across the pond

To prepare for these rivers and these years to come

And introduced me to my brothers and Advanced to

TROPICAL PENGUINS but on that topic I'll not mention

1 year concentration

The time had arrived power to techniques

Backing tracks acoustic gats 4 mics

Classroom schedule practises to share mind and arise

NESIAN STYLE

The 4 mics now turn to 5 and SABRE

Promoted from lyricist advisor to the monitors

City coconut behaviour as NESIAN MYSTIK stands strong

Coz everybody knows IT'S ON

I like to send aknowledgement to all those who set this foundation

For AOTEAROA music to build with self composition

Crossing streets down in BAY

Running GREY/PONSONBY as home base

A brief reflection of my days



*Chorus*
